[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]Arlington population: 236,842 
Reston population: 60,335 (add 15,394 for Great Falls)
McLean population: 47,075
Vienna population: 16,556

I think VYS has shown players can stick with it all the way and still go to a D1 college. (If you don't believe me, just Google it. I'm tired of looking everything up for everyone.)

The very best players may still go ECNL. Vienna is nowhere near big enough to be an ECNL club.

Why Metro United includes Stoddert and Potomac instead of the more geographically logical Vienna and Herndon is above my pay grade. VDA is just too far away.

This is a basic question, but I'm still relatively new to the area ... yes, I understand that officially, the "Town of Vienna" has 16K residents.  But most of Fairfax is unincorporated, and one would think that Vienna has the potential to draw from all of the unincorporated parts of Fairfax County that surround the town of Vienna, so their potential population is larger, isn't it?  I think the number shown for Vienna is small only because it's the technical population of the Town of Vienna; there are many more people surrounding the town for whom VYS would be the closest club, or equidistant to other clubs.  But maybe I'm missing something.

I was disappointed to learn that Vienna limits its financial aid to kids from select schools (presumably those from Vienna proper).  So it seems they've made a conscious decision to treat kids from outside of Vienna differently.  It's one of the reasons -- not the only reason, but one of them -- that we'll be looking for a new club next year.  [/quote]

Don't forget about the other Fairfax clubs: Villarreal, FPYC, CYA, Mclean, Great falls/ Reston and BRYC.  Vienna has to compete with them all.  [/quote]
